…and since Mark Arm was standing in for Chris Bailey in this version of The Saints I caught up with this today and it’s a great listen. Keith certainly steered my taste for noisier things back when I was buying NME (and MM!) religiously each week!
The Saints 73-78 band on stage at The Garage, Glasgow
Much last-minute indecision choosing which show to go to yesterday evening but The Saints 73-78 won out and then I won out by getting to experience it. Fabulous stuff!

Another surprise find from @monorailmusic.bsky.social thanks to their regular Mississippi Records restocks. Watch out for those friendly Beatles-eyes!
The @monorailmusic.bsky.social Film Club years were fun and always threw up interesting combinations. The Servant screening was a busy one from what remember!

Lots of button mashing at those borscht fights

Listening to the new album by the Mekons and John Dee and his scrying mirror appear in the lyrics of the first song in. Just a heads up! mekons.bandcamp.com/track/the-we...
Wait, was Daniel Blumberg the support for Neil Hagerty at Sleazies back in 2015? I’m trying to trawl my memory banks!
Watching this is like a balm to everything that’s going on

Off to listen to this RPM episode after doing my homework and watching the Louder Than You Think doc. I’m not sure how it passed me by but it’s fantastic and really worth a watch!
In the air(lock) tonight...
More music… Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers ‘A Night In Tunisia’, the latest from Elucid, ML Buch’s debut ‘Skinned’ and the Madvillainy demos. A pretty good evening in if you ask me…
Manchester vinyl purchases… new ones from Jennifer Castle, The Softies (finally got around to getting this!) and The Belair Lip Bombs. Old one from John Fahey, a cracking compilation by all accounts!
Had a smashing time - very happy to have been on two of those tables!
The Boys from Brazil - a star-studded cast with a broad range of acting ability on display! Oh and Larry and Gregory having a wrestle on a sofa...
Repost with a cool song that's under two minutes

I’m hoping you’ve been exposed to the profane comedy genius of Limmy already?

Thursday!
Of course my first post here was going to be a bunch of records… one step at a time!
Latest @monorailmusic.bsky.social buys - Lewsberg, Dolly Mixture, The Durutti Column and Margo Cilker. This should get me through the working week!
